After Action Report

The Cavaliers outlasted the Lakers 112-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
